9. Meander by Chicago-based artist Richard Hunt was completed in 1978 and given to Lake Forest College in 1984 by the friends of Hugo Sonnenschein. Sonnenschein, an alumnus of the school, was the person after whom the school’s Sonnenschein Gallery was named. His friends gave the sculpture to the school as a gift in his memory. The sculpture is made of welded Corten steel and, like its name suggests, appears to amble across the ground outside of the Durand Art Institute, which contains the Sonnenschein Gallery. Richard Hunt was born in Chicago in 1935 and raised on the south side of the city. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Hunt gained national recognition in 1957 when the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York acquired one of his sculptures, Arachne. He was the first African American visual artist to serve on the National Council on the Arts, appointed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. In 1971, Hunt became the first African American sculptor to be given a retrospective at MoMA. Over the course of his nearly seven-decade long career as an artist, Hunt has singularly made the greatest contribution to public art in the United States, with over 150 sculptures publicly installed in 24 states and Washington, D.C.
